If Alex Smith leaves the 49ers in the off-season, he will do so knowing he’s beloved. Smith subbed for Colin Kaepernick near the end of the game and received a standing ovation. He then was greeted with a chant of “Let’s go Alex” and then “Alex, Alex, Alex.”
That’s an amazing turnaround from two years ago, when Smith was booed during the last home game of the season for throwing a pass away on a screen.
Smith is well deserving of the adulation after all he has gone through. Even though Kaepernick is now the starter, Smith is undoubtedly the face of the 49ers’ turnaround from the dark era.
